The given graph represents the function f(x) = 2(5)^x
How will the appearance of the graph change if the a value in the function is decreased, but remains greater than 0​
a) the graph will increase at a slower rate
b) the graph will show a decreasing, rather than increasing, function
c) the graph will show an initial value that is lower on the y-axis
d) the graph will increase at a constant additive rate, rather than a multiplicative rate

C

Step-by-step explanation:

in exponential equations f(x)=ab^x , a is the intial amount while b is the growth factor. you are just decreasing a so the intial value is lower (=^w^=)

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).
